I’ve posted a video of me flying the Spitfire pretty hard on another thread so I’ll just link to it here too. I didn’t post it here because it’s not my official submit! My official submit needs to be with an Edge!

Testing the Charlie in some wind(probably not more than 12 MPH but gusts and crosswinds). Also, going much more bold on maneuvers. I wouldn't call this reckless or asking for a crash, but I surely put this bird through the paces in less than ideal wind conditions. There's something I though was a plane at first that just sits there. It's probably a bright star or the moon at a weird and distant angle, or if you've got an active imagination and sense of humor...it could just be that my flying is way more interesting than our inept "leaders" and that the Vimana89 fan club is pretty dang extensive
. Man youtube might have lowered the quality a bit, can't even make out the glowy star thing except at brief parts. Oh well, the plane is the important part.

You had some really nice moves and a picture perfect landing. Plus you didn't hit not a single fence or light pole! Great job and great flight!

Flying @Vimana89 's Arrowhead. Footage isn't that good, because it was dark out, I'll have to fly again when it's bright. The thrust angle was a little of so I couldn't go too crazy with it. It appears that I didn't put enough glue on the winglets and one of the V stabs because both winglets and one V stab fell of during flight. It still flew fine with one V stab as long as you didn't try to fly straight

Serious flying, there! You're giving @Vimana89 a good run for the "King of High Alpha" title!Flying @Vimana89 's Arrowhead.

Ok, You convinced me @Grifflyer ! I'll get the plans printed tonight or tomorrow. I was debating between this and the V Silver, but after what @Vimana89 said and watching you fly this, I'm convinced!
